Where PureVPN keeps on experimenting with their designs, ExpressVPN tends to stick to their traditional outlook, maintaining a consistent UI across all its desktop and mobile apps. Windows, Mac, Android, iOS, and Amazon Fire TVĪfter spending years reviewing/testing different providers in the VPN industry, I am a witness to how each service has improved their user-interface and overall appearance. In simple worlds, ExpressVPN is the better choice for those residing in the country, and PureVPN is for those living outside China but want to access local content! Setup and Interface Whereas, PureVPN does offer 12 servers in the country, with 6 located in Shanghai and 6 in Beijing. Sadly, they do not offer servers in China. However, it does not offer a dedicated Chinese page.ĮxpressVPN, on the other hand, does offer a Chinese page that allows residents in the country for accessing their apps and subscribe to a suitable payment plan. Since PureVPN has its headquarters in British Virgin Islands, it works better for both: Chinese expats and those residing in the country.

However, now they are the only provider in the marketplace that can unblock streaming platforms like Netflix and BBC iPlayer directly through browser extensions.ĮxpressVPN does unblock these platforms too, but some servers may fail at bypassing geographical restrictions, which requires you to test multiple servers. Previously, PureVPN did deliver inconsistent performance. Unblocking CapabilitiesĮxpressVPN and PureVPN are both able to unblock all popular VoDs in the marketplace. You can even establish 5 simultaneous connections with PureVPN and 3 with ExpressVPN. Split Tunneling is available with the desktop apps for ExpressVPN and all apps of PureVPN. As a result, you may receive better functionality with Express. However, the router support available from ExpressVPN is unmatched, as compared to PureVPN. PureVPN gains an edge over ExpressVPN though, as it even offers a native app for Kodi. You even have browser extensions available for Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. You have apps available for Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS, and even Fire TVs, Roku.
